This school is terrible!!! I have my three kids in this school, and i'm looking to definitly transfer them out!! They are constantly talking about healthy diet in their monthly calender...WELL, when ive asked my child what they have had for breakfast they say things like cin a rolls, pop tarts, etc..all surger filled foods that will later have the kid crash mid-morning!! Also, the academic program is the worst! They are suppose to instruct kids on homework, extra help, and elaborate on their grade subject. My kides are coming home with homework a quarter of the way done, because they claim they have been watching movies while doing homework...now how is that possible????? I feel this school is just simple terrible.

Nice school so far but I haven't seen any stop or speed limit sign around the school. The Avenue in front of the School (Morris Ave) needs a stop sign so the vehicles run at a low speed because of the children.

Dr. Antonio Pantoja is a good school, but some new teachers that started this past year are not doing a very good job. They do not inform parents on time what is going on with their child's academic progress until it is too late. The Principal at times reaches out to parents, but at other times seems not to. The school is very clean, but there seems to be a lack of comunication between parents and school staff/administrators.

they don't involve parents with students activities, in a year i just went to the school to pick up my daughter and that's all, never shared with her any activity

I think the school, the teachers and the administrators are wonderful. It is a clean, well organized family orientated school. I feel my child is getting an excellent education and has access to all necessary educational materials and help if needed. They offer many extra incentives to the kids alsol
